Even at our lowest the media here never printed anything like that. Look at me, I've got a column and can be a smart ***. That's what sells there? Just me but I much prefer to read balanced coverage.
Read the Rider forums. This author is just reflecting what they are saying. And trying to put a funny spin on it. They suck so bad they have nothing left to do but laugh (better than crying).
The problem isn't that SSK is bad: it's that they were supposed to be #1 or #2 in the W this year. No one is mad EDM or OTT is crap, because they were expected to be crap. But you can't build up expectations and then deliver crap like SSK did. That is why they are getting pilloried.
When WPG was bad (think '13-'14) people weren't crazy upset because we were expected to be bad.
Next year SSK fans will behave differently because they will have low expectations. See: OTT fans this year.
